Change button is usefull at the beginning of the game when you don't use
worklist. Raimar has also argumented that worklist can be a bit difficult
for newbies.

I added a small present units list to the main ("City") page because it
appeared that there would be use for it while playtesting.

Which then?

Changes are automatically applied when city dialog is closed. I think
that's enough, isn't it?

I see the advantage, but this isn't so easy to do. The size of map canvas
is variable and that's because it needs variable amount of space, and 
I want to keep balance with any size of map canvases. And central place of
"currently building" is important too (that's why I don't want to swap those 
columns). Any other ideas?
